The Heart of Empire? Theorising US Empire in an era of transnational capitalism

Article Abstract:

The study rejects the periodisation inherent within the new imperial discourses that link the emergence of American Empire to either the post-cold war or post-9/11 eras and has instead called for an alternative historisation of the role of the US state within a capitalist global political economy. The role of the US state within a global political economy is presented.
